04.19.16Marc Gerson was quoted regarding the prospect of 2016 tax reform in AccountingWeb. Although presidential and congressional elections will likely generate discussion surrounding comprehensive tax reform, most executives do not anticipate it happening this year. "Respondents continue to be uncertain about when comprehensive tax reform will be enacted, or whether it will even happen at all," Gerson said. "That said, with the presidential and congressional campaigns in full swing, we are seeing a more active dialogue on tax policy than in prior election years. Most essential to our respondents is that policymakers address issues facing businesses, including the United States' high statutory tax rate and the need to level the global playing field through international tax reform."
